I think your problem is that Word is running in a graphics mode that
Windows can't put in a window.  The solution would be to look in your
Word manuals for an option to run in text mode (it has been a while
since I've used Word for DOS, but I think there is an option for this).

Word uses graphics mode so you can see italics, bold, underlined
properly, when you run Word in text mode all of these things turn
into colored text.
